Inject a burst of Mediterranean warmth into your garden with Cistus 'Sunset', commonly known as the Rock Rose. This stunning evergreen plant is a sun-lover, celebrated for its prolific display of large, saucer-shaped, vibrant magenta-pink flowers that bloom beautifully against a backdrop of velvety, silvery-green foliage.
Perfectly adapted to the British climate, 'Sunset' is exceptionally hardy and drought-tolerant once established. Its spreading, mounded habit makes it a superb choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, or coastal landscapes. Each flower lasts only a day, but the plant produces a relentless succession of new blooms throughout the summer months. Supplied established in a 2L nursery pot.
